| Abstract/Contents: | States that "fertilization plus herbicide treatments continues to be contractors' fastest growing lawn care service." Mentions that "nearly everyone in the industry agrees that untapped lawn care opportunities exist and can be new profit centers for landscape contractors from add-on services. For example, tree and ornamental care is still an unrealized service opportunity for many LCOs [Lawn Care Operators]." Notes that "in addition to tree and ornamental care, aeration and seeding, mole control and fire ant mitigation in Southern states were cited by LCOs as other services with solid growth potential." Discusses chemical use stating that "37 percent of LCOs indicate that they use organic pesticides, of which 60 percent indicate they use organic-based-products alongside synthetic pesticides." |
